... more about golf than war in Palestine. Is that OK?

We’re back to some golf quotes from various sources today, connecting them to spiritual truths. With all of the violence going on in Palestine these days, nuclear weapons in Iran, frustration building in other areas of the world, I thought it would be good to have a lighter post today. Also, the British Open is underway today.

"There is a force in the universe that makes things happen...and all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking...let things happen...and Be the Ball." Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), Caddyshack

• Ty may be onto something here. He certainly was with his unorthodox style for playing golf (especially putting – nananana, vavavava). Get in touch with God and be the church.

"Papa, trust your swing." Note written by ten year old Qass Singh pinned to Vijay Singh's golf bag during the 2000 US Masters (which Singh won).

• I don’t know about you, but one of the hardest lessons for me in my early walk with God was learning how to trust him. Trust who he said he was; what he said he would do.

"The fundamental problem with golf is that every so often, no matter how lacking you may be in the essential virtues required of a steady player, the odds are that one day you will hit the ball straight, hard, and out of sight. This is the essential frustration of this excruciating sport. For when you've done it once, you make the fundamental error of asking yourself why you can't do this all the time. The answer to this question is simple: the first time was a fluke." -Colin Bowles

• Nothing big and significant here, I just like the quote because that’s golf. The good shots bring you back.

Have a great day!
